Camacho Posted July 18, 2012 Share Posted July 18, 2012 http://www.news.com....9-1226428895179 Madonna scraps plan to tour Australia MADONNA has scrapped plans for her first Australian tour in 20 years. Her manager, Guy Oseary, reportedly told promoter Live Nation about Madonna's change of heart overnight. Live Nation Australia confirmed the cancellation today, but had no further comment. Madonna was set to announce summer dates for Melbourne and Sydney on July 12, but postponed the announcement until after the London Olympics. Stadiums in Sydney and Melbourne had been booked for her new show, MDNA, in January and February. Earlier this year, Oseary said: ``Madonna really needs to go to Australia. We are long overdue for a trip Down Under and apologise for that. It will happen.'' Live Nation boss Arthur Fogel added: ``We'll get to these markets where she's never been, some exciting new places, and get back to Australia after too long a time.'' But rival promoters claim the show was not viable in a crowded summer tour market. Coldplay and Red Hot Chili Peppers will tour in summer. Nicki Minaj and Nickelback are also set to announce last-quarter dates. Madonna's publicist Liz Rosenberg is being sought for comment. The MDNA tour has had a controversial start in Europe. Madonna flashed her breast in Istanbul and displayed a Nazi swastika in Paris. Punters had also complained about ticket prices, which ranged from $45 to $600. But Madonna urged: ``Start saving your pennies now. People spend $300 on crazy things all the time, things like handbags. So work all year, scrape the money together and come to my show. I'm worth it.'' Madonna last performed in Australia, with her Girlie Show, in 1993. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Mensch Posted July 18, 2012 Share Posted July 18, 2012 Damn. I just went through the other thread... That really sucks. I knew it was too good to be true and I got this weird feeling in that interview, when she literally cringed when they mentioned Australia. Fucking Guy forced her to do it and now she's just like, this is just too much and refuses... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Skin Posted July 18, 2012 Share Posted July 18, 2012 This reminds me of an old news report that someone posted a long time ago when Madonna was there for The Girlie Show. I forget the exact words but the fan being interviewed said they got tickets because after this tour Madonna was probably never coming back.

Guest CJM Posted July 18, 2012 Share Posted July 18, 2012 I am upset Live Nation are saying the tour "concludes in South America." Why can't she come back mid 2013 for a few concerts? There's just no excuse. I can' believe it. I want this to be a joke and for Guy to make an announcement later today Madonna will be coming to Australia due to the severe reaction from fans. But she wouldn't do that. Cause she's an asshole, mother fucking bitch. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
mnation09 Posted July 18, 2012 Share Posted July 18, 2012 It does feel like you've been dumped or stood up Like a knife through the heart Like "Not only do I not want to see you, but I'm going to make you wait outside the movie theatre for a few hours, hoping that I show up.."

Kurt420 Posted July 18, 2012 Share Posted July 18, 2012 I'm so sorry to the Australian fans! This really REALLY sucks!! Shame on them for this. I honestly thought it was a sure thing this time. She hasn't been doing too hot down there lately from what I understand, not a good time to pull something like this M! I know they would've made a killing down there and the fans are so rabid for her the energy would've been insane. I just don't understand. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
San Posted July 18, 2012 Share Posted July 18, 2012 (edited) Anyone know how to plan club parties.....can someone arrange a wake for M's career in Australia. We need to mourn and move on.....and make a video of it to send to M. Edit..... Migueleto will reenact the MDNA tour for us at the party. Carly and I will be very drunk. Thanks.
